Placid Crafts Handmade Raw Series Brass & Aluminum Fountain Pen / #368
Raw Brass & Aluminum Fountain Pen. This raw series fountain pen is machined from C3604 brass for the hardware and features a Aluminum body. Both the brass and aluminum are raw (no coating) and they will patina and take on the antique look that is so popular today. The cap is posted; it screws onto both ends of the pen with smooth treads for secure storage. The pen section is 5-1/8 long.
Capped the pen is 5-1/2" long and it is 6-7/8" long posted. The pen body is right at ½ in diameter. Brass and thick Aluminum body adds weight to the pen and it weighs in at almost 3 ounces.
One ink cartridge and converter are included. RAW BRASS & ALUMINUM / NOT POLISHED / NO FINISH / NO LACQUER. NO PROTECTION / PATINA WILL PROGRESS.
THE UNPROTECTED FINISH PATINAS AS IT AGES. Patina is a Progressive Process, Not a Finish...If you get more patina than you like simply clean the pen with some Never Dull and start over. The finish is raw and Patina is a process that WILL happen to this pen. We have buyers that are disappointed if the pen comes like new (less patina) because they like the patina, other buyers are disappointed if the pen comes with more patina than pictured. Yet others say they like the way it came but just keeps getting darker.....
Yes, it is a process. Personally I love the patina. Placid crafts specializes in handmade pens both conventional handmade and their signature metal series pens.
These are made on a metal lathe form solid metal round stock blanks; these are made from Rebar, Aluminum, Brass, and Copper. These are drilled out to 3/8 and a brass tube glued in to mount the hardware to. The Rebar is lightly cleaned on a wire wheel and sprayed with a clear coat to protect the steel from rusting.The other metal pens are turned to the proper size and the sanded for a smooth surface. These pen bodies are not sealed or coated. They will patina as each type of metal will.
They will get darker as they age and the patina gives them the antique look that is so popular right now.
